I've finally booked my holiday, a narrow boat for the
first week of October (57ft this time!) We collect the boat from Sydney Wharf
in Bath, so exited!

Here are a couple of pictures taken in my back garden
last week, all the rain we've had has helped! I have still got my veg patch (eight
by six) and have added some grow bags in nice wooden surrounds to blend in. The
courgettes are growing in the one in the picture. All the rain meant some of my
tomato plants were ruined before they got into the veg patch, but I have about
8 so that should be enough for the three of us! The purple jalapeno plants I grew
from plugs are growing well in my veg patch and I have tons of green/purple
chillies everywhere. Even the tomato plants have flowers on but I doubt if they
will give such a good crop this year, not much sunshine!

Housework finished, washing dry, ironing (well that will
have to wait) and a pile of un-finished craft projects on the go so now to come
back to blog land and get back on track!

I just don’t know where the time goes, do you or is it just
me? The older I get the quicker the week seems to fly by!So with getting older what better way to
update you on recent happenings in my life with my recent visit (or should I
say re-visited) birthday day out to RHS Wisley with my sister Danielle back on
the 25th May. So here in pictures are some of my favourite parts of
Wisley. I’ve got so much to blog about to catch up but that will have to wait
for another day. Have a great weekend.

As we are having a family get-together in London on Monday I thought I'd make cup cakes properly and here is the first tester batch. Obviously we had to try them and they are lovely. The sponge is vanilla and very moist. We have saved some for tomorrow for the three of us as Ian is working Monday + Tuesday.

I'm busy cutting and glueing more flags tonight ready for 24 cup cakes to be made tomorrow. Have fun this weekend for your own Diamond Jubilee celebrats. Amanda x
